We Hate Spam!

We have recently instituted a system of spam control that helps keep the McHenry County Blog a lean, mean information machine. A side product of this process is that in certain cases you might be blocked or challenged to prove that you aren't a robot in order to comment on articles.

If for some reason the automated processes that are in place to prove that you are a human do not work, or if you have any other technical problems with the blog, please email techguy at any time for speedy resolution.

On Saturday, February 22nd, 2014, a resident of Crystal Lake, a senior citizen, was approached by a crew of three individuals who solicited employment for tuckpointing services to the exterior of the citizen’s residence.

An agreement was made as to the cost of this service, and the individuals received payment. As one of the subjects pointed out their work to the senior citizen, the other two subjects gained entry to the inside of the home.

The senior citizen recognized this was occurring and indicated police would be contacted.

The subjects then fled.

Evidence exists to indicate the subjects had searched through the senior’s bedroom.
